ORIGINAL: LadyEllen Just for illustrative purposes, this was what happened last night; I’m not naming profile IDs though some might be able to work it out. This sub guy joined quite recently, and seemed ideal to me. Good looking, interesting, not going on about sexual proclivities all the while, similar interests etc – you get the idea. So, we arranged to meet last night, as I was down in his part of the country for work anyway. We met up as arranged – (yes ladies, he showed up! – big plus point) – with the plan as far as I was concerned to go out for a meal and a chat, nothing more. We drank a coffee, as we’d each just arrived in the place – a four hours drive for me, an hour or so for him, and talked for ten minutes or so as we drank. Halfway through this conversation he asked, “are you female or TS?” at which I was a bit taken back as its mentioned in my profile, (obliquely perhaps, but plenty have worked it out so its not that difficult!), and had mentioned my status several times in threads since he’d joined. Its not a problem for me though, so I confirmed that yes, I’m TS. We carried on talking and finished our coffee. He then said he had to go and move his car as it wasn’t parked in the best place. That was that. I waited for a half hour then sent him a text along the lines of “I guess you’re not coming back then?” No answer. Well, I waited a while longer and then went and ate alone, as usual. When I got back to the hotel, I sent another text asking for at least an explanation, if he thought I deserved one? Nothing. My opinion, despite the short “incompatible sorry” mail waiting for when I got home tonight, is that yet again here we have the usual thing going on. TS means “bloke in a dress” whatever one looks like, whatever one does, however one behaves etc. And furthermore, that being TS means that one can be treated like shit, and deserves to be treated like shit. Thus endeth the lesson E I made comments before of the subset of TS people that go on shows like Jerry Springer to get their 15 minutes of fame and they are just so campy and over the top that alot of people have a tendency to stereotype the entire group. Alexis Arquette is a perfect example - talk about wanting attention - any kind of attention. People get a preconceived notion of a group based on what people see off the Television. I have really only conversed with one TS that I know of (actually, I'm replying to her now) and she's just a really nice person; regardless of what she was, or what she is, or this-that-or-the-other. It doesn't matter who you are; finding the right match is just very difficult. I've read alot of posts of people who thought they'd found the one, and then ... I think if you polled alot of women, you'd see that what the guy did to Lady Ellen (or some variation) isn't all the uncommon. Bottom line, he's a jerk - she didn't deserve to be treated that way, no matter the reason. He was probably some wanker that just wanted to meet a TS because he would have had to know beforehand - she's not shy about who she is and makes regular references. I had read through a couple of dozen of LadyEllen's posts before I came across one where she talked about being a TS. Before that, I didn't know and now, I don't care. She's a human being like all the rest of us, with just a more interesting story to tell. It's like the person with 6 fingers on one hand, the big purple birth mark on their face, or something like that - it's something you have to see through in order to really get to know the other person - some people can do it and others can't.
